The reviewer feels that this dictionary (see AATA 19-1314 for abstract of book), with some 4000 entries, has a broad scope and is enjoyable to browse in but has overlapping and conflicting entries; scatters similar entries instead of grouping them; and omits many important terms or buries them in the text of other entries. She is generally favorably impressed with the illustrations and considers the book a good buy. See also 20-1551. -- AATA
